The moral of the story of the donkey and the dog is “Don’t try to be what you are not”. Once a man had a little dog. He was very fond of it. He would often take it into his lap and pat his back. 

The man had a donkey. It wanted to be a pet of his master. One day the man was sitting on his chair. He had the dog on his knees. He was giving it bits of food to eat. The donkey said to himself, ‘If I do as the dog, then my master will make a pet of me. The dog wags its tail and barks. It also jumps on his knees. Let me wag my tail and bray. I’ll then jump on his knees.'

Thus thinking, the donkey began to bray. It also wagged its tail. It then tried to jump on his master’s knees.

The master got afraid. He cried aloud. His servant came out of the house. He began to beat the donkey with a stick. The donkey ran away into the field.

Moral: Don’t try to be what you are not.

Once there was a fox living in a forest. He was roaming around the jungle for his foods. By chance, he fell into a well. He tried his level best to come out but all in vain. So, he had no other alternative but to remain there till the next morning. He asked his friend but they didn't help him. The next day, a goat came on that way. She peeped into the well and saw the fox was there. The goat asked, what are you doing there, my dear?

The fox replied, I came here to drink water. How sweet and cool this water in this hot summer days. It is the best I have ever tasted. Come and you want some water. Without second thought, the goat jumped into the well. He quenched her thirst and looked for a way to get out.

Then the fox said, I have an idea to get rid of this well. You stand with your back legs. I will climb on your head and get out. Then I shall help you to come out too. The goat was innocent enough to understand the bad idea of the fox. He did as fox said to him. Now the fox get out of the well with a jump and walked away. The fox said, Had you been intelligent enough, you would never have got in without seeing how to get out. I can't help you.

Moral: Look before you leap.  Do not believe blindly and walk in to anything without thinking.
